*^*"^' I'fc-rill^HlllM. gardeners everjrwhere. Our 
sales of this variety increases each season. The ribs are per- 
fectly solid, crisp, brittle and of delicious flavor, surpassed by no 
other variety, while it has the decided merit of being self-blanching 
to a very remarkable degree. Without banking: up or any cover- 
t> i . ing whatever, even the outer ribs become of a handsome, fresh 
yellowish-white color. The heart is large, solid, and of a beautiful, rich, golden-vellow color. The leaves also are of a beautiful golden-yellow 
after the plant has been bleached, which adds greatly to its handsome appearance when prepared for the table. For early use grow White Plume 
and Self-Blanchi jg, for late and winter use our Giant Pascal and you will have the finest selection of Celery that can be produced. Pkt. lOo, OB.

Some object to growing celery on the grounds that it takes too much time, this, however, is done away with in the White Plume, as " banking up '• 
is not necessary. The stalk portion of the inner leaves and heart are naturally white, so that by simply tying the plant together, or by packing 
the soil against it with the hands and then repeating the operation to hold the soil already placed, in position, the work of blanching White Plume 
IS completed. No Celery presents a more handsome appearance on the table than 
this variety, its beautifully cut leaves and delicate color invariably attracts 
attention, and many of the leading- growers of America claim this and Self 
Blanching are the only sorts it pays to raise. We have been extremely careful in 
selecting our seed of this famous variety and believe the seed we offer this season is as 
pure a strain of White Plume as can be obtained. Pkt. lOo, oz. 15c, ^ilb. 50o, lb.$1.50

can equal this for late fall or winter use. Gardeners reports from all sections recommend 
this Cel<-ry to growers who require avarietythat will keep for January and February use. 
The stalks are remarkably large, thick, solid and entirely stringlcss; it is the largest 
grown as regards width and thickness of stalks. When fully grown the outer stalks 
average two inches wide and are nearly as thick as a man's finger. The immense 
stalks can be sliced lengthwise, and are always very crisp and brittle, snapping 
like glass. Unlike most other Celeries, it never becomes watery, and can be eaten when 
quite small. It is a very vigorous grower ; the heart is a rich, bright yellow, even without 
blanching. It blanches very easily, requiring only five to six days earthing up, when the 
outer stalks present a beautiful clear white appearance. Pkt. lOc, oz. iBo, Vi lb. 45o,
